crankshaft thrust washers HELP!!!

[SHL565S]

Hi All,
As part of my stags resto, i have been working on the engine, renewing parts and cleaning them up i noticed the main bearing were worn down to the copper colour so i replaced them, the set i ordered came with thrust washers, however ive looked all over the crankshaft and the main bearing caps and i cant find where the thrust washers go, could someone please tell me where they go and how they go on, i have the BL workshop manual however its very vague in terms of main bearings and thrust washers.

Thanks In Advance
Jamie

either side of the centre main bearing

fit them and check end float as per the workshop manual

Make sure you fit them the right way round.
I have dismantled several triumph engines (not just Stags), and found them fitted back to front which somewhat knackers the thrust face of the crank
